Born and raised in the United Kingdom until the age of twenty-one, Mark has been an attorney since 1994. Before entering private practice, Mark began his legal career as a Palm Beach County Assistant State Attorney, a position he held until 1999. During his career as a Government lawyer, Mark served as Chief of two different County Court Divisions and, thereafter, was promoted to a felony trial division. He has handled thousands of cases ranging from first-degree misdemeanors to Capital Murder.In February 2016, Mark formed Drug and Alcohol Attorneys (http://drugandalcoholattorneys.com) a concierge service dedicated to help families and individuals suffering from substance use and mental health disorders. Together with his experienced team, and using the tools and resources only available to an experienced practitioner, Mark has been witness to many individuals experience the miracle of recovery.In 2020, not long after the Covid-19 pandemic began, Mark noticed a disturbing trend of individuals who were relapsing, suffering from anxiety and depression, and calling for help. Shortly thereafter Mark formed Baker Act Attorneys (https://bakeractattorneys.com). Many of these individuals found themselves being involuntary committed by the State and held against their will, under the Baker Act (Chapter 394). Now in the care, custody and control of the State, these individuals were being abused, mistreated, forced to take medications, and unable to secure their release.Mark discovered that many hospitals and Baker Act facilities only cared about making money, not helping people. Prior to forming Baker Act attorneys, facilities were free to violate rights and the Baker Act statute itself, because no one was watching. That changed in 2020, Mark has successfully litigated against many hospitals and facilities and is now feared in that community. “I believe we can get everyone out of a hospital or facility provided the family doesn’t delay calling us.
